Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #24

<p>This picture was taken outside the Cape Town stadium for the 1st world cu game last friday evening. The crowd was at least double the stadiums capacity but we were there just for the fun of being there.</p><div></div>

<p>Playing around with a 105mm f4 micro-nikkor AI and a PN-11 extension tube + a rose</p><div></div>

<p>This is Munchy. She works for cheese, and is helping me work on my flash technique.</p>

<p>Whilst on the beach on Sunday spotting airplanes (honestly I was ! ) , I spotted this woman wading out to her daughter then wading back out. Looked unusual as she was fully clad, so I snapped a couple of shots.<br>

<p>Nikon Buddies,<br>

I agree with Jose A.: glad this is not a competition with so many great photos (including yours, Jose). Special compliments to:</p>

<ul>

<li>Aguinaldo - the photo is the pot of gold. Thanks for sharing the wealth.</li>

<li>Jeff S. - nice. Who says photos must be served "right side up"?</li>

<li>Christopher T. - very cool.</li>

</ul>

<p>My shot is of my neighbor's flower garden. I liked the shape. The camera was on a tripod, added light was via handheld led flashlight.</p>

</p><div></div>

<p>OK, here is one of my panorama foto's I took last year.<br>

<p>Recent wedding of a relative... I attended and wanted to help a bit as a second shooter. The real pro was doing a great job, with a long list of group shots. My strategy was to fill in when I could see he wasn't shooting. At one point, with the bride and her mom checking their dresses, I caught this image which I liked. It was a great wedding. They were very happy to have my shots the next morning. We are very happy for the young couple.<br>

<p>Hi.<br>

I take this photo last week in Moray - Cusco Peru</p><div></div>

<p>We've been watching a pair of woodpeckers for several weeks. First couple of weeks they were hard at work, 16 hour days, pecking this hole into solid (not rotten) oak. Then a couple of weeks of what we thought was rest. Then the little family appeared. Now, 16 hour days again keeping them fed.</p><div></div>

<p>A shot on my flight from Brussels to Chicago last week!<br>

<em>D700 , 24G, f/1.8, 1/250s, iso2500</em></p>

<p>My shot is from a shoot I did with a fellow photographer for a small restaurant in the city.</p><div></div>

<p>WOW, I can't believe I almost missed Wednesday!! <br>

Haven't shot much as I'm in the middle of moving, so I'm uploading another one from my sister-in-law's wedding</p>

<p>Great shots as always everyone!</p><div></div>

<p><em>The mountain is out!</em><br /> Sunday brought beautiful weather to Mt. Rainier National Park. Stunning vistas and wonderful photography opportunities were in abundance throughout the day. Nikon D80 w/ Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8</p><div></div>

<p>This little tug can be a bit of a pursuader when the larger yachts get out of hand and need a little "nudge" to help them into their slips. <br>

D90, iso 200, f7.1, 1/200s, 18mm</p><div></div>

<p>Still WedNesDAy here, I`m posting a pic taken past saturday... D700 @ 3200ISO + 24-70 (70mm), f2.8 - 1/60sec., hand held. For sure he doesn`t need to be introduced...</p><div></div>

<p>following Matt's lead, portrait of friend posing to be a pin-up accordian babe (calander). D700, 24-70, 2 mono blocks, 1 w/beauty dish, 1 w/umbrella. Was fun to do.. <img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1308/4658633479_af4425fd3c.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Taken yesterday morning, after my wife found these oak slug caterpillars in the yard. Nikon D40, 55mm Micro-Nikkor + PK-13 extension tube, twin macro flash (manual).</p>

<p>Hi Nikonian folks, we are still WedNesDay. So far so good my friends.<br>

Here are my coup de coeur<br>

Jeff L<br>

Lawrence H. (i love golf)<br>

Gej J (is this the same course?)<br>

Tony H. (Wow)<br>

Ilkka N. (very nice color)<br>

Richard K.<br>

And now mine. After a quick shower, I tried the bokeh effect with 3 lenses, 20 pictures or so. The best result was with my 70-300. I still need practice but I like the result.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's my pic for Wednesday: Nikon D700 + Nikon 70-200 VR + Nikon 2x tele. Enjoy</p><div></div>
